city. lanes are blocked. a car ran off the road. that's what's going on there. so again, expect to see some delay. other than that accident it's just overnight roadwork including this stretch of northbound 280 to southbound 101 that remains closed. they have been doing ongoing roadwork in the area. golden gate bridge traffic is still moving fine. in fact, we didn't ever see any roadwork on the approach to the golden gate bridge so headlights are moving southbound towards doyle drive, san francisco, drive time still looks great. 13 minutes between 580 and the golden gate bridge toll plaza. they may be doing lane changes to get more lanes open towards commuter traffic. but other than that, that's pretty much all that's going on across the golden gate bridge. and here's a live look up the nimitz. they still have that roadwork in lanes between embarcadero and fruitvale. obviously it's not enough to make a dent in the drive time. 16 minutes on northbound 880 between 238 and the maze. by the way that roadwork is in both directions of 880 right now. and a little farther south if your commute takes you towards

milpitas, this is near the 880/237 interchange. these headlights right here, that's the westbound 237 commute for silicon valley commuters. still moving at the limit. and right now still we'll show it to you because we can, no delay right now for any kind of mass transit all across the bay area. all right. that is your traffic. and i know lawrence is gearing up i guess possibly for a wet morning commute tomorrow. >> yeah. i think will be a whole different commute for you tomorrow morning. but today it's a quiet start to the day, a little cold. we are seeing patchy, dense fog in the north bay valleys but big changes coming our way as we have a storm system dropping into the bay area. this is going to be a very cold storm. nothing like those big storms. it could carry a couple of snowflakes to the bay area. wouldn't that be something? clear out over the bay right now. temperatures a little chilly. we have some 30s in the valleys. fog into santa rosa. visibilities down to a half mile. 39 degrees. 47 in san francisco. 45 degrees in san jose.

on the big picture high pressure starting to weaken. you can see the cold front lagging well to the north. it will take the better part of the day to drop down in our direction but we'll see increasing clouds throughout the afternoon hours and maybe a chance of some showers developing as we head in toward the evening in the north bay. the further north you go the better chance you have of rainfall today. watch out for dense tule fog into the central valley. high country look good. 50s and 40s, good travel conditions up there. let's time it out. mostly clear this morning, we may see some fog move in along the coastline later on today and chance of showers on the increase. by tonight expecting showers around the bay area and because the storm system is so cold, it can't hold that much water. so we're talking about a half inch, maybe three-quarters inch in the wettest parts of the bay area but enough to get wet out there. 50s and 60s going to stay dry today into the south bay dry into the east bay, as well. 36 degrees in livermore. 61 pleasanton. and as you make your way to the north bay those temperatures running up in the 50s and the 60s. those clouds on the increase,

rain become likely overnight tonight into tomorrow morning. then turning to showers. a brief break on thursday then chance of more showers on friday. and then looks like maybe another storm rolls in come next sunday but none of these big storms, but reminding you that it is the cold wintry season with maybe some snow. >> thank you. a controversial right to work bill comes up for a vote today in michigan. police are preparing for as many as 10,000 protestors. the bill would allow workers and union represented employers to opt out of paying dues even though the union would still bargain on their behalf. during a stop in michigan yesterday, president obama criticized the proposal. >> these so-called right to work laws, they don't have to do with economics! they have everything to do with politics. >> yeah! >> what they are really talking about is giving you the right to work for less money. >> supporters of the bill say it will attract businesses and bring more jobs to michigan in. it's expected to pass and the state's republican governor is expected to sign it. michigan currently has the

two big highlights, 7.2 billion- dollar deal with a madoff associated who died and a $162 million settlement of the owner of the new york mets. the trustee hopes to recover an additional $3 billion over the next year and a half. that leaves investors with about a $5 billion total loss. >> wow. the scandal was a wake-up call for investors. what can we do to protect ourselves against this? >> reporter: i think you always need to start by asking questions. you want to determine whether your broker or advisor will be handling the advice. the trading or the custodianship where your assets are held. the lesson of madoff is interesting. you should avoid advisors who control all three aspects of the investment process. in most firms, at least one of those pieces is handled separately. that allows for a third party to conduct checks and balance. the next thing is of course be cynical about stellar returns never type of market. that seems crazy to question good returns.

one big red flag of the madoff scheme, he never had a losing month! his returns were so consistent that a lot of people said, well, this has to be manufactured. they were right. finally, if you think there could be a problem, get a second opinion from another advisor or just trust your gut and move on to another. to help protect yourself against scams or even to ask questions of a new advisor, go to moneywatch.com where we highlight the 10 questions to ask any potential financial advisor, stockbroker or insurance salesman. we want you to be armed with information. >> yeah. if it's too good to true, might want to move on. >> reporter: probably is. >> all right. jill schlesinger, cbsmoneywatch.com, thank you. new this morning, a big buy for a big airline. delta is buying virgin atlantic for $360 million. sir richard branson will still own more than half of the airline and it will continue to operate as a separate airline
